"It's not all it's cracked up to be. I hate turning into big things you know, it hurts. Biggest I've gone was a tiger." she shrugged.

 

"Sometimes I get stuck partway through and that's not as cute as you think." Tora leaned against the wall across from him "Where's that accent from? I like it."

Zen looked at all of the food they had there, but if he was to be completely honest, none of it appealed to him. After so long, he sort of just got over feeling the want to eat. Eventually he just decided to go along with Louise's suggestion and get a milkshake. He paid for it and took a sip. '...Oh my god!' he thought. He immediately began to slurp down the dessert as quick as he could, which was not a good idea. He clutched his head when the brain-freeze hit him. "AGHHH!"

He nodded. "I don't really have many friends myself, not with all the time I spend in labs. So it's nice to be able to make some now. Anyway, you'll get used to the elevator pretty quickly, I think. I guess it would probably be an odd sensation for anyone who's never been on one before." With a quiet dinging sound, the door opened onto the penthouse floor. He again opened the door for her as they entered the apartment. "Well, here we are. Go ahead and make yourself comfortable. As far as I'm concerned, it's as much your place as mine. And I'm sure there are at least two beds, so neither of us will have to take the couch tonight." He sat down and sighed, finally able to rest. Except, now that he was here, he suddenly wasn't sure he wanted to. "Hey, do you want to go out or something? I'm sure this town has some good clubs somewhere."

[RunsWithSquirlz 274]

Before looking at the open kitchen, she put her suitcase down. "I can cook for us. It seems they've stocked your kitchen. You could go to a club if you like but after I take a shower, I can start dinner for the both of us."

 

Rikku grabbed her case and walked down the hallway, heels clicking against the smooth marbled floor "If you want to eat with me that is, though I insist." She disappeared into the bathroom and soon the shower was running.

"You say the biggest you've gone was a tiger? Ouch, that mus have hurt. So that field mouse you were being in the demonstration, was that the smallest you've gone or can you go smaller?" Nico asked, curious about how small she could go. "The accent shiela? I'm Australian. Lived in Australia all my life, eh, that is until I came here anyway." He shrugged, not really making a big deal out of it. "Where are you from? I can't quite place the accent."

Victor shrugged. "If you won't go with me, I'd rather not go to a club alone. It just feels weird, and it I haven't been to a club in years, so I'd hardly know what to do. I might just go for a walk or something. And I'd love to eat dinner with you, if you really don't mind cooking." After she went into the bathroom he left his things on the floor and went to look around his new home for a bit. It was actually even nicer than he'd expected. The Institute must have shelled out quite a bit of money to get him this place.

@, Louise took some fries and a burger, and a large chocolate milkshake from the food selection. It was all free, and she decided that even after she left here, she'd sneak back in and take some more whenever she felt like it. When Zen got brainfreeze, she giggled. "Sorry, but you just looked so funny. I find that the way to avoid that is to drink it slowly."

[The Dark Lord 332]

@@Pripyat Pony,

 

"Yeah, ok." Zen said as he began to drink the rest of the dessert slowly. "This is the first time I had a milkshake...It's good." He polished off the rest of the drink and tossed the cup in a nearby trashcan. He wasn't really compelled to have anything else, so he just waited on Louise while looking around. As he saw all the people moving about, he got really nervous and put his hood back up to cover his spiky white hair and eyes. Zen never did feel comfortable around people.

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@, Louise had at age thirteen been self conscious, but over the years she'd learned to just not care whenever people stared at her. She ate her food quickly, thinking over what they were to do for the evening. She had no intention of just staying in the room and planned to go and explore.

"You're making a thinking face." Zen said to Louise. "Are you thinking about what you want to do now?" he asked. Zen didn't really care what they did at this point, as long as it wasn't boring. "I'd rather not sit in my room and watch TV for the rest of the day, so I'm up for whatever." 

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

@, Louise finished her food and dumped her empty milkshake carton in the bin. "I was thinking that I don't want to spend tonight stuck inside," she said. "I'd like to go out and check this place out, you know, scope the place, maybe even find a pub if there is such a thing on the island."

"That sounds fine with me." He said getting up and following her out. "I don't ever sleep much anyway, if at all. And i still need to feel out the city."  Zen started looking around. There was everything you would expect from a city around here, Restaurants, stores, apartments, etc. "I think I see a bar over there." He said. With his enhanced vision, he could make out the sign just above the venue, "Whisky Wind Tavern. Well, it has the name of a pub at least."

[RunsWithSquirlz 274]

"China but I've been country hopping these last few years. I dont even remember how to speak it anymore" Tora stretched and yawned.

 

Rikku was soon out and whisking around the kitchen, she got used to it quick and had already set up her little system. She was happy that Victor had accepted her invitation, it felt good to be making new friends."Do you have wine?" she called out as he came back.

He shrugged as he walked back into the room. "If you don't see any in the kitchen, then I guess we don't have it. I can run out and grab some, though. I wouldn't mind a chance to get another look around the neighborhood, and I do enjoy a nice glass of wine. What kind do you want?" 

[RunsWithSquirlz 274]

"Ah it's fine, let's eat." She set the table, placing down a haunch of roasted lamb and various side dishes. She was rather proud of the meal, having just grown the herbs herself.

 

"Maybe you can tell me more about this people. They experimented on you. Why do they want to help the metas?"

He sat down, all too happy to dig in to what looked like a delicious meal. "Well, they can profit off of me, for one thing. If they can turn my abilities into some sort of computer program for the stock market, they'd rake in billions of dollars. And I think there's some academic curiosity as well. People are still trying to figure out why there are so many more of us nowadays, so I guess that's part of it. And some of them I think just want to help us out of compassion, because they realize we're misunderstood and most of us just want to live normal lives. But for the most part I think the Institute is only really helping us so that we'll put up with being studied. At least what they do here is a lot less intrusive than the usual." He stopped to take a bite of lamb. "This is incredible, by the way. You're an amazing cook."

"Country hopping? So you've been going from country to country without really staying there?" Nico saw her yawn and thought for a bit. He wasn't actually sure if she got a room or not. "You seem like you're tired. If you don't have a room, you could stay woth me for the night." Nico offered nervously and scratched the back of his head.

[RunsWithSquirlz 274]

She chuckled "Well you're very lucky to have asked me to live with you. Back home, I have my own farm so everything is fresh. I learned by helping my mother cook for six siblings. I hunt too but not for fun you know."

 

Rikku picked at her salad "The experiments hurt? Do you think that might happen here?"

 

Tora beamed "Yeah! That sounds awesome! We can rent a movie and order room service and then eat candy and then play something and then maybe another movie...sound good?"

He nodded. "Obviously I'm very lucky indeed. I could get used to eating like this." He sighed at the thought of the experiments. "I think... if it were to happen here, it wouldn't be as bad. With all the metas concentrated here, there'd be a big outcry if it got out of hand. But I guess you can never be sure what some people are willing to do."

Gale sighed as she woke up in the middle of the night, and looked around the hotel room. "I guess I might as well get something to eat." She said, as her stomach growled in agreement. The teen walked out of the room and noticed that Shadow was still sleeping. She then made her way to the kitchen, being careful not to make to much noise, and began to make a sandwich.

[RunsWithSquirlz 274]

"I wonder what we will do tommorow. We begin tests, no?" she refilled his cup. She found herself enjoying his company very much so and she had noticed him looking at her earlier. Rikku wasn't entirely modest, she kept herself in shape and even though her hands were usually dirty, she liked to keep up appearances.

 

But it still made her nervous all the same, everytime it happened. "I'm sorry but I'm no good at desserts, sweet is not my area. More savory food." Inwardly she yawned, the trip catching up with her.

Nico beamed when she agreed and suggested some skrt of plan once they got there. "That actually sounds like a good plan! Okay, we'll do that." Nico agreed and pushed himself off the wall, beckoning for thegirl to follow. "I don't think I got your name, what was it?" Nico asked uncertainly. He never had to share a room before and he's never had any siblings either so maybe this won't be such a bad thing.

Detru ran her nails across the wall, making a sinister scraping noise. She had always wanted to sharpen her nails, but while in prison, that had been regulated so she had no weapons. She had also been given a complicated nano-machine network in her back that could shock her should she get out of control to paralyze her. Even now, with the nano machines deactivated, there were vicious scars in her back from where they were implanted. The large woman stopped dragging her nails and let out a groan of frustration before continuing to try it.

@, I woke up from another nightmare, and at the same time another result of my abilities. I can transform into the thing someone fears most if it was physical or make it happen in their head if it was something like a fear of heights, in a sense I was a dreamwalker, someone that can enter and manipulate dreams.  

 

In that respect I was weak, I could only influence a dream with fear nothing else and at that very little. The more powerful ones could make the world of dreams their playground. But the second drawback to my abilities is when I did not spread fear on occasion my dreams would show my own deepest fears.

 

  I used the shadows to look around and noticed that Gale was getting something to eat, my own stomach quietly told me that it demanded satisfaction. So I got up and walked towards the kitchen.

He nodded. "I guess so. I wonder what they'd do if we just... didn't show up at the institute, though. Probably best not to risk it. Anyway, don't worry about dessert. I'll buy some stuff tomorrow. For now, we could go get something if you want, but it sounds like you'd rather go to sleep." He chuckled. "I could use some sleep as well, anyway."
